    If I don’t lose skin, blood or gain a blister, I know I haven’t worked hard enough 😉 I get blisters quite regularly though and it seems to be window graphics and vans that do it, never when I’m making a sign or doing a floor … and its always my beer hand that suffers 🙁

    Well I must admit to being a bit dissapointed with Coronation Street tonight.

    All the hype about Dev and his empire is a bit laughable. Do any of us Coronation Steet afficianados really care much about the swaggering Dev and his shops going up in flames (what does Sunita see in him :roll:) No of course not. We’re all much more interested in Ashleigh and his lovely fiance, or Steve and Karen. Even Cilla and Les are more likeable than the Grotesque Dev…..

    er… Have I said too much?? 😳

    OK
    so its a bit far fetched that you would tear from shop to shop and not even think about calling the pleece.
    But I fell in love with corrie after working on the set many years ago,
    barely missed an episode since

    Yeah! I Agree with Marcella

    You’ve said too much Phill :lol1:

    I used to watch that stuff when I were a kid

    Elsie Tanner, Ena Sharpels, Miss Nugent and Mr Papagopolos
    Len Furklof and some others

    Haven’t seen it for ages

    The Mike , Deirdrie and Ken Love triangle must be the greatest storyline ever. When Ken Punched Mike this entire nation was gripped with excitement – during the advert break the National Grid almost went into melt down when everyone nipped into the kitchen to put the kettle on 😳

    More like “I would like to be a celebrity, please like me”. I hate that program; I hope the entire wannabe cast gets eaten by crocodiles. And snakes.

    As for Eddie Yeats – without doubt one of the finest thespians ever to appear in an animated Beatles film. He lives near me.

    Well if she had been squashed by that truck, her daughter (Tracy) wouldn’t have gone on to become part of the Steve, Karen and Tracy love tirangle that is currently gripping the nation……….

    After 4 pages of intelligent analysis of the Coronation Street plotlines of the 1970s I feel that we are at last using Rob’s webspace in a very constructive manner.

    Reg Holdsworth (actor Ken Morley) lives just down the road from me.

    There, you see, I know something about Corporation Street 🙄

    In a past job/life, I used to have ‘dealings’ with him on almost a weekly basis. Before anyone asks it had nothing to do with double glazing!!!
